About Me

I took very early retirement from teaching in '06 and did some traveling in Europe and the UK before settling down to do some private tutoring. As a voracious reader, I have many books waiting in line for me to read. Tell me I shouldn't read something, and I will. I'm a happy, optimistic person and I love to travel and through that believe that life can be a continuous learning experience. I'm looking forward to traveling more some day. I enjoy walking, cycling, water aerobics & and sports like tennis, volleyball, and fastpitch/baseball. I'm just getting into photography as a hobby and I'm enjoying learning all the bits and bobs of my digital camera. My family is everything to me and I'm delighted to be the mother of two girls and the Gramma of a boy and a girl. I may be a Gramma, but I'm at heart just a girl who wants to have fun.

Skywatch Friday

Skywatch Friday is brought to you by Tom at Wiggers World. Go there to see other great photos of the sky.

Last month I went to Fort Langley, about a 40-minute drive from my place. I did a post about it, called "Elvis is Alive and Well" and you can read about it here if you missed it. I was thinking back, trying to recall the last time we actually had a whole day of sunshine here and I remembered that day. So I went and looked at the photos and decided to share the following with you.

The sky was bright blue and the clouds were light and fluffy, scudding along in the light breeze of the day, lavishing my daughter and me with feelings of bliss and tranquility. I am yearning for another day like that but, unfortunately, the weather report sounds a bit dreary for the weekend. So, with another look at that day last month, I feel somewhat better and thought these shots of the old-fashioned church might cheer up others who may be sick and tired of the bleak wintery days.

These photos also remind me that this is Easter weekend and instead of wallowing in our melancholy moods, we should remember what these next few days are truly for - remembering the sacrifice that Jesus made by dying on the cross for all our sins so that we might have eternal life. May I wish each one of you a very Happy and Blessed Easter.

I spotted the church from the south side of the Fraser River.

So I crossed over the bridge and took this shot from the north end of the bridge.

Poking my camera through a thicket, I managed to get this shot using my telephoto lens.Finally, we drove up a dirt road to see the church up close. It had no sign with a name so I have no idea of its affiliation. Perhaps it's used as a non-denominational church for the locals.

Leslie I love those photos....I have seen that church as well, but like you I have no idea of it's name....I hope you have a great Easter weekend...it's it glorious outside today....oh we are blessed!!!!
